It is said that when| an effort was made in that direction, | the clerk's records were found in| such an unsatisfactory shape that it) was impoesible to tell anything ebout the matter. There is no tell- ing how much the city lost, if any- | thing, by this failure of the council | to properly bond its collector and| the inefficiency oftheclerk. It hap-| pened that both of these officers/ were populists, but the populist party disclaims any responsibility. Now, if these officers had been elect ed by a political party, that party would have been held to strict ac- count hy the public. We believe that party nominations should be made by each political party and the fight made on political issues, and the successful party held to strict account, the same as in county, state and nation. RIGHT OF FREE THOUGHT AND SPEECH. It is the manifest determination of certain parties to make the test of a man’s right to the nominationon the democratic ticket in Bates county his attitude on tke silver question before the party had taken a positive stand thereon. They deny the right of individual thought on a great idea being evolved in the public mind and claim that one must have been a believer in and advocate of the 16 to 1 plan of settling the money question, in advance of party action, else he is forever debarred from a participation inthe emoluments and honors derived from the victories of his party, no matter how ardently, effectively and courageously he might have embraced the full plat- form and labored for its success at the polls. This effort on the part of a few would be dictators to crush out free thought and free speech in the party, before policies and platforms are adopted, may be democratic, but if it is, it is not the school wherein we were taught our democracy. We] were taught to abhor all that was| despotic, to give free, full and fair | discussions of all quesiions before| being adopted as principles and tenets of the party, then to uphold them against the enemy to the last trenches. No one can truthfully deny that we have been earnest and consistent advocates of bimetallism from the very beginning of the agitation of| that question and was in favor of the old ratio of 16 to 1 when propo- | sitions were being voted on in Con- gress from that to 20 to 1, because | we firmly believed that this govern-| ment cculd sustain avy ratio it! would adopt and that 16 to 1 should be retained for reasons which to us} seemed good. But we were not so bigoted as to| deny any democrat the right to! think for himself on this question while in its embryonic stages, before the National Convention had made ita tenet of the party. If after the party had spoken any democrat had refused to accept the principles laid in the platform, then and not 1en, was he outside the pale of party. The idea th el cians of try to prevent life long a he has met repeated reverses in his party conventions it never deterred him from making the fight at the polls. Should he be now given the brand of Cain, and forever prevented from holding office of honor or trust because he diffsre1 with a majority on a party policy? Is this according to the wishes of our party leaders, the great Bryan, | the gifted Stone, the versatile Cook, our worthy Senators Cockrell andj Vest, and in fact the large majority of our National leaders who advocate recognizing’ and rewarding even members of the opposition parties who yoted with us for the great cause? Ths last State convention which nominated our present free silver governor end state officers was pre sided oyer by Senator Charles E. Peers, who, like Mr. Graves, differed with the majority of his party on the proper ratio after the National platform was adopted until We will have to look deeper and}, farther back than the silver question for the cause of the present fight on Mr. Graves, and when it is made known it will not reflect credit on the parties’ miking this fight on him. the agitation of The St. Louis Republic publishes Congressman DeArmond’s picture in it’s Sunday edition, with the com ment that he will probably be the speaker of the next democratic house, to be elected this fall. This announcement is surprise to Judge DeArmond’s constituents, as they have regarded it as only a mat- ter of time when he would become the leader of his party in the house It is evident to all that Mr. Baily cannot sustain himself in pacity. His utter icability to ce ment and hold in line makes his leadership of the majority party out of the question. He has been tried and found sadly lacking as a leader and the mantle of Crisp no jean fall on no more capable or) worthy shoulders than on our own DeArmond.
